Lonesome But Free
by Troy Cassar-Daley
Note: I prefer to play Em7 but Em sounds good too.
Capo on the 4th Fret
Intro: G9 Cadd9 G9 Em7 Cadd9 G9
G9 Cadd9 G9
I left my home in a hail of blows
Em7 Cadd9 G9
And I went as far as I could go
Cadd9 G9
In my ears Daddy's words still ring
Em7 Cadd9 G9
If you walk out now, don't come back again
G9 Cadd9 G9
One day Mamma and the younger ones
Em7 Cadd9 G9
Might forgive me for what I've done
Cadd9 G9
Another year goes by, another season turns
Em7 Cadd9 G9
And still this feeling, inside me burns
D Cadd9
And I keep moving from town to town
G9
'Cause these rambling shoes
Cadd9 G9
Don't like slowing down
D Cadd9
I got nobody, I got no place to be
G9 D G9
I might be lonesome but I'm free
G9 Cadd9 G9
I see storm clouds across the plains
Em7 Cadd9 G9
With the window down I can smell the rain
Cadd9 G9
And those wheat fields waving in the sun
Em7 Cadd9 G9
Sing me back home where there's work to be done
D Cadd9
And I keep moving from town to town
G9
'Cause these rambling shoes
Cadd9 G9
Don't like slowing down
D Cadd9
I got nobody, I got no place to be
G9 D G9
I might be lonesome but I'm free
Em7 Bm
One door closes next door opens
Am
At least that's what they say
Bm Cadd9 D
And I keep hoping I'm gonna find that door someday
D Cadd9
And I keep moving from town to town
G9
'Cause these rambling shoes
Cadd9 G9
Don't like slowing down
D Cadd9
I got nobody, I got no place to be
G9 D G9 Cadd9
I might be lonesome but I'm free
G9 D G9
I might be lonesome but I'm free
Outro: G9 Cadd9 G9 Em7 Cadd9 G9 X2
